Fire, carbon budget and climate change
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: The research team will be examining areas of permafrost south of Inuvik and near Hay River in order to assess the rate of loss of permafrost as a result of the warming in climate over the past twenty years. The loss in permafrost may be speeded up following a local fire. The wetlands that replace these areas of permafrost could lead to a greater production of methane (one of the gases that contr...

Canadian Intersite Decomposition Experiment
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Forestry researchers tend to study in detail their local forests yet for major issues such as global warming, it is necessary to conduct research over larger areas to understand impacts on Canadian forests and industry. This study attempts to better describe rates of decomposition and nutrient mineralization across Canadian forests in order to understand how forests are supplied with nutrients fo...

Re-evaluation of Disturbance Experiments in the Lower Mackenzie Region, NWT
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1989 1988 1987
Summary: In the early 1970's, several test plots were established to see what happens when the plants and soil are disturbed or removed by fire, oil spills, and vehicles. Dr. Wein and two students will be re-visiting these sites to document how the plants have recovered since that time....

The Ecological Genetics of Seedling Drought Resistance in Jack Pine
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1989
Summary: Dr. Wein and his assistant will plant jack pine seedlings in the Reid Lake and Sandy Lake area where the dry conditions simulate a drought. They hope to find a species of jack pine which will survive drought conditions in more southern forests....

Effects of fire on plants, animals and human land use
Principal Investigator: Wein, Ross
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To gather information on fire behaviour, the effects of fire on plants and animals, and the social implications of fire management. Satellite imagery processing, aerial photography and ground censusing will be used....
